Vacation rentals with a kayak in Emmet County

Beautiful house with amazing view. We loved seeing the sunsets over the lake from all of the decks and the primary bedroom. Great amenities and very clean house. Host even left a thoughtful gift bag with some treats and card to welcome us.

We had a great long-weekend stay with our toddler and small dog. The house is in a cute neighborhood that's walkable to the restaurants/shops in downtown Harbor Springs. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The toys in the living room were a nice surprise and helpful to keeping our toddler entertained as we unloaded the car. Very clean and nicely updated/decorated. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we came back to Harbor Springs.

Convenient to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Very clean and very well appointed, interior is well updated. Nice linens, comfortable bed. Stephanie was so helpful and always quick to respond. This property exceeded our expectations!

Debbie’s home is beautiful and the setting is breathtaking. Debbie was very responsive and offered several locations for dinner. I highly recommend staying here.

This was our 4th time visiting the area and this was the nicest place we’ve stayed! It was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in…it even smelled clean upon arrival! Great accommodations and a lot of space to move around!

Our week at Brian‘s house turned out even better than we hoped. The house was lovely and very well equipped. Lake Walloon was incredible and we all enjoyed the boat.

Renee was on top of everything and was a great communicator. We loved the house and setting, the instructions were clear and the home had many amenities (dock, canoe, etc...). We saw several eagles! It was beautiful!

Great place to stay right on the lake. Beautiful views from the home. We stayed in the winter, but it was still very pretty to look out. The house was clean and as described in the listing. Great communication!

There was more than enough room for the six people in our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the back porch, where we spent the most time. It was very peaceful, and the view was beautiful.

Great view of the beautiful lake from the cottage. Cottage is in a good location to make day trips to places in the tip of the mitt and the eastern U.P. Having two bathrooms is helpful. Really liked the decor and all of the little touches throughout the cottage. If you have forgotten to bring anything look around first before running to buy it, as they have several items there for you use. There was a slight glitch with the access code when we first got there, but the problem was taken care of by a quick response from the hosts. They were quick in getting back to us throughout our stay. There was just the two of us, but I think the cottage would also work great for a family with kids. One of our favorite things was drinking our morning coffee while watching the two loons out on the lake.

We had a wonderful time at Mark and Mary’s place. Our friends stayed in one of the other houses so it’s a great area for multiple families to stay and gather. It was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed at. The property is beautiful. We loved the patio area, fire pits, and lake area. We definitely want you to come back to take advantage of the lake.

The cabin was clean and it looked the same as the pictures. Very convenient for Mackinaw and the surrounding areas. We loved being able to kayak and use the row boat for fishing. My boys caught a crappie, perch, and a blue gill. We saw a Bald eagle, a pair of Loons and other wild life in the lake. The was shed was stocked with water toys, fishing pole, stores sticks and so much more. I thought this yard was one of the best I saw while kayaking. The cottage had limited Tupperware and measuring utensils but we made due. The space was tight but I already read in the description and expected it. Nothing we couldn't manage for a few days!

This beautiful cabin was the perfect setting for our retreat. The home is situated right on Paradise Lake with easy access to the water. The location is also incredibly close to the upper peninsula and made day trips to local landmarks easy. The rooms were clean, cozy, and spacious enough for a four person group and dog. We would absolutely book this cabin again.

Small, but clean and cozy! Perfect home base while we explored the area. Our kids loved having the lake and kayaks to play with. The electricity was a bit funny as all lights would dim when you used anything in the kitchen..but this issue did not detract from our stay. Would definitely recommend!

This house is a little gem. Perfect for a couple or small family. Ours was my husband, our 7mo baby and dog. We wanted a quick fall getaway, somewhere quiet and peaceful but close to town and restaurants. Location is great. 5 min from Walloon village and Petoskey. Tucked away on Walloon lake right off 131. The house is roomy, with the bedroom giving plenty of space for our pack and play. Kitchen has everything you need and David even left us smores for the fire and fresh sunflowers, and a toy for our baby! Really appreciate having things like plastic wrap, Tupperware, spices, paper towels, laundry detergent and even shampoo and conditioner. All the things that make travel easier and comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings and mornings. And of course being able to have our dog was important to us. Lastly David was flexible with us on checkout which was most appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect for a large group of family to get together for a ski weekend, we had some of the group ski and some stayed back and the house was a perfect place to hangout with everyone.

Cute little cabin on the lake with a stunning view, great restaurant within walking distance with amazing food… what more could I ask for?

Thomas responded promptly to all of our questions. The cottage was the perfect place to get away from it all, and on a hot day, the breeze from the lake made it feel as cool as if it was air conditioned! As a heads up to other renters: the lake is very shallow so take it easy when you pick up speed, but the lake connects to The Black Hole Nature Preserve and then to the Inland Waterway via Crooked Lake so there’s plenty to explore if you have a boat. Our dog hung out in the water all day living his best life and it was easy enough to keep him on the porch using a baby gate until he was dry enough to come into the rest of the house. The bunk beds were particularly roomy and great for all ages!!

I love staying here. I've stayed here a few times. They are old cabins and rustic and a little rough around the edges but that's the charm about them. They're comfortable and bring a sense of peace. Staying here brings back a lot of great memories growing up and staying in different cabins in Northern Ontario. I will definitely stay here again.

It is a steal of a place. This was our second time and we want to keep coming.

We decided to go on a last minute trip and this place was perfect for our small family. Richie was very responsive and met us at check-in. We want to return in spring to enjoy a longer trip!

This was the perfect location for respite and a lovely get away spot. Cozy & delightful. I can’t wait to come back!
